Eat All Fresh - The House Of Kababs, Shivaji Park

It is true what they say about good things coming in small packages. A couple of days ago, after a blistering morning of shopping, I was looking for a new place to have lunch at in Shivaji Park. That's when I spotted this one, tucked away next to where Prakash hotel is currently located. If you want another landmark, it is bang opposite Sujata restaurant.

My first choice was Maratha Chicken Masala but I was informed that it is served only on weekends so I ordered Malvani Chicken Masala (Rs. 140) and Roomali Rotis (Rs 30, Rs 20 for small). I was surprised when it was served within 5-7 minutes. 'Oh no, not another lukewarm non-veg meal!' I inwardly groaned as I dipped the spoon into the spicy-looking gravy. Surprise! The meal was piping hot. The disposable serving plate came piled with well-cooked tender pieces of chicken in a reasonably spiced tasty gravy, pieces of cucumber, onion and lemon. The rotis were soft.

Malvani Chicken Masala

The eatery is small - about 3-4 tables but extremely clean. It is air-conditioned. The staff is attentive and courteous. Apart from Malvani Chicken Masala, Maratha Chicken Masala, Butter Chicken and Prawns Masala, the menu boasts of 8 varieties of chicken kababs, 7 types of paneer kababs, mutton seekh kabab, chicken/ paneer kabab platter, veg/chicken sandwiches, chicken/mutton/paneer rolls, Tawa Surmai/Rawas, Tandoori King Prawns and chicken/mutton/prawns biryani.

So if you find yourself in Shivaji Park and are looking for a tasty, hot and fulfilling meal at a very reasonable price, check out this House Of Kababs.
